The Battle of Atlas Arena was an action taken to prevent the destruction of Atlas Arena by terrorist members of the STO at the start of a professional Pyramid game.

Although U-87 Cyber Combat Units attached to the Caprican marines were deployed against the terrorists, the robots were not deployed by any military or government official, but instead by their inventor, Daniel Graystone.

The battle was notable for being the first full application of Cylons in a military role, and for inspiring the widespread use of Cylons throughout the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.
